Second Review : 03/25/20
Reading this one took me a lot of time. Probably because I get easily distracted (phone) and also because it became harder for me to read since I, too, have Anxiety. Some scenes were actually hard to swallow so I had to put it down for a mean time and process my emotions. Having anxiety really do sucks. Always worrying about anything or what might other think. Furthermore, the inability to control what your mind and body feels. Now that I am full aware of what I have been experiencing, (since the last time I read this, I wasn't fully aware that I even have Anxiety) this book hits hard at some scenes. Especially the latter part, in full honesty, I cried while reading it. I could feel the same tension Autum was feeling. It's as if I was the one in her place and it was hard to digest.
But one thing is for sure, I still love Dax Miller. For a guy, to make a girl relax and help her through episodes; speaks volumes. Not all guy can fully comprehend how anxiety feels like and how it works. Yet, he was there willing to understand and care for Autumn when she needed it. I love that about him. I swooned so hard for him.
Now, I need more of their sweet moments. I needed more of Dax and Autumn's new relationship. I'm craving for more. This book is so good. Surely, I will pick it up and read it again some day.

First Review :

Kasie West's books always gets rid of my reading slump. This one is a light read and I just find myself reading the entire book in less than a day. I really like Dax Miller and Autumn Collin's character development here.
Spoiler What I hate is Dallin, at first I liked him but then again he's being such a jerk to Autumn. No matter how pissed you are, you don't treat a girl like that. Anyway, it clearly too short and I needed more of Autumn's new found relationship.
But I guess that's how it ends.
